Comfortable life in Siheyuan

Chapter 401 The Career Ambition of Several Masters

The air in the Jia family suddenly became still. There was not a single breath of wind, even with the door open.

The stick was painful, and the younger sister wanted to bleed a little. But Wang Li, who was sitting next to him, had her left hand on his waist and had twisted it twice.

"Lili, what do you, as the eldest sister-in-law, have to say?" Qin Huairu knew that her son's words were useless, so she turned around and targeted her daughter-in-law!

Although Wang Li was somewhat reluctant, she knew she couldn't avoid it. She could only bite the bullet and say, "Mom, isn't it your job as a mother to prepare a dowry for the girl? Banggeng and I will contribute our share!"

How can the money given by the elder brother be compared with the dowry? As long as the couple is sincere, they can give any amount. But the dowry is different. There are rules for how much to give.

"It's okay if you don't pay. I've already spent my money on you. Money is tight now, so why don't you lend me some money first! We have to take care of Xiaodang at home!"

Qin Huairu had not originally expected these two people to contribute money, and now she just wanted to borrow some money to hold the wedding!

"Mom, we~" Bang Geng didn't even finish his words when his wife Wang Li glared at him. No one mentioned this matter later.

Qin Huairu looked at Wang Li deeply. She knew clearly what kind of person her son was, so she didn't say anything more.

As for the money, although he didn't have enough, he could still think of a way. It's better not to cause trouble to his sons.

In the evening, after finishing all the work at the restaurant, Sha Zhu and his wife came back unexpectedly. They hadn't been home for a long time, and today, after seeing Qin Huairu, they finally remembered to come back and visit.

After Sha Zhu and his wife came back, everyone in the courtyard immediately knew that Xiao Dang had already agreed to get married and was waiting for the wedding banquet. It wasn't that Sha Zhu was quick-witted, but that He Daqing spread the news after he found out about it.

In the backyard, Xu Damao has become more and more extravagant these days. He wears a newly bought suit and leather shoes these days, and walks with style. The second uncle sees this and is worried.

Thinking about how his children were becoming increasingly indifferent to him, the second uncle's mind couldn't help but become active.

These days, he goes out whenever he has free time, and he also wants to find some business to do so that his children will look up to him and come back to call him daddy!

But I still have no idea what to do and don't know where to start.

Uncle Three's life became increasingly difficult. Xie Cheng and Yu Li had not been home for several days. The other children only came back once during the Chinese New Year.

Now the old couple lives on the pension of the third uncle, and their food is becoming lighter and lighter. Today, the third uncle pulled out the flowers in the flowerpots and planted vegetables.

Yi Zhonghai shook his head upon seeing this, he had long expected the fate of this third uncle, now he could only sigh.

At noon, the three uncles sat together to play chess. The worries of the second and third uncles were almost written on their faces. Yi Zhonghai had no mood to play chess.

"I'm asking you guys whether you are going to play chess or not. What are you thinking about? You spend a lot of time thinking about each move. In this whole morning, you haven't even played two games!" Yi Zhonghai threw away the chess piece in his hand and said helplessly.

Seeing this, the third uncle lost interest in playing and threw the chess piece on the board. He sighed and said, "Old Yi, I worked so hard to raise these children, but they all turned out to be ungrateful.

I haven't treated them unfairly. Jie Di even finished high school. I gave my job to the third child. I also fulfilled my duties for the eldest and second child. But how come the children become different people when they grow up? "

Yi Zhonghai curled his lips and thought to himself: "How can I say I have changed? I am the same as you! I have learned ten times ten!"

"Now that they are strong enough, they don't need you anymore. What do you have now? Your conditions are not even as good as those of those children. Of course they don't need you anymore!" Liu Haizhong thought he had seen through the truth of the matter. This is what he thought during this period.

"Old Liu, stop talking nonsense. His children are just like Old Yan, stingy by nature. They have learned their father's ability to manage the household, so it's not surprising that they behave this way now." Yi Zhonghai retorted!

When the third uncle heard what Yi Zhonghai said, his eyes almost went up to the sky. He thought to himself, "I want you to help me say a few words, not to listen to you say a few words about me."

"Old Liu, I think what you said makes sense. If we could do business and get rich like Sha Zhu, wouldn't those bastards come back eagerly?" The third uncle said to Liu Haizhong.

"I've had this plan these days, and I've been looking for ways outside recently! I want to see what kind of business we can do. After all, I can't afford the huge investment!" The second uncle also became excited when talking about this.

"I do have a business I can do. I have a room in my house that faces the alley, with a door at the back, so I can do business there. I've also observed recently that the neighbors around here have to walk a long way to buy vegetables. If I open a store here, there will definitely be a lot of people patronizing me." The third uncle said this with a beaming smile on his face, completely unaware of the hard work of selling vegetables.

"That's a way, but the vegetable seller has to go out early in the morning to pick up the vegetables. If he can't sell them all, he'll lose money. You're so old, can you ride so far to get vegetables early every morning?"

Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but pour some cold water on him. The third uncle's idea was too simple. How could he bear the hardship of going out to get vegetables and sell them every morning?

The third uncle fell silent again. Thinking of the hardships of selling vegetables, he was speechless for a while.

"Don't worry, I've been out looking for a way every day recently. You can come with me tomorrow to take a look. We can make something big together!" Liu Haizhong became even more excited. He was imagining that after he became a boss, his children would come to take care of him.

"Your idea is wrong. When you become bosses and have money, your children will come to be filial to you. Are they being filial to you or to your money?" Yi Zhonghai curled his lips, feeling a little disgusted by these two people's weird ideas.

"Old Yi, does it matter whether this child is filial in terms of money or people? As long as he is filial, isn't that enough? As long as the money is mine, they must come back and perform well!" Liu Haizhong's face flushed with excitement, as if he had already seen the scene of his children and grandchildren surrounding him.

"Old Liu, don't pay attention to him. Let's continue talking about what we were talking about just now. You've disrupted my train of thought. Where were we just talking about?" The third uncle was now obsessed with making his children look up to him.

"Speaking of business, let's work together to make some noise. I don't believe that those brats won't give in." Liu Haizhong became more and more excited as he spoke.

"Then what can we do together? What do you think?"

"I've recently noticed that more and more people are involved in construction, but the steel used in these buildings is all produced within the plan. Only a small part of it flows into the outside market, and it is a hot commodity. If our family opens a building materials company together, we will definitely make money!" said the second uncle firmly.
